Thank you for the birthday wishes

Also, THANK YOU for the birthday ballon, cupcake and helping Mr. Everson celebrate his birthday. Mr Everson did not expect the hear the birthday song at National Night Out.  It is greatly appreciated.  Mr. Everson now starts the journey around the sun all over again. 
Best troop and pack ever!

National Night Out - what a wind gust

National Night Out - Wow --what a wind gust that came through the park - closed down the event - everyone scrambling to take down their displays. A big THANK YOU to everyone that came out to help with the display - Special THANKS to Steven Stumbris and his crew for running the pinewood derby track for the youth of Lewisburg. Lots of kids racin' cars down the track. Here is picture of the setup. Council supplied their tent with the backdrop. The tagline on the backdrop was "This is my social media badge". Too bad for people that came out for the skydivers and fireworks. We'll be back next year

In case you are working the peanut sale and need training on how to use the roaster,

A big THANK YOU to Megan for putting these videos together in 2012.

No one came out today for on hands training at 3:00pm, so hopefully the videos are enough for you to know how to use the roaster.

Thanks for Gregory, Colleen, Megan and Kevin for helping setup. Sorry about any confusion to Michael for the time to be there for setup. Booth looks great again!

2 bags of peanuts are already at the booth for tomorrow.

Any questions just ask .

May it be a dry week at the fair...

Attached are pictures of the booth - it is in a different location than last year - we will see how this location goes.

Thanks for Gregory, Colleen, Megan and Kevin for helping setup. Sorry about any confusion to Michael for the time to be there for setup. Booth looks great again!

Peanut Sale - Setup and training


 Starting next week is our fundraiser for the scouts to earn money for camping/etc.  It is our roasted peanut sale at the West End Fair from August 4th until August 9th.

Hopefully, you signed up to work a shift at this event.  We work this fundraiser with troop 525 of Mifflinburg.

If you would like some hands on training on how to use the roaster versus watching the youtube videos Megan put together, then come on out to the West End Fair ground on Sunday August 3rd at 3:00pm.  We will be completing the setup of the booth and fire up the roaster so individuals can learn how to use the roaster.

Again, Sunday August 3rd at 3:00pm at the West End Fairgounds.

Summer Camp Movie 2014

Mr Everson sent out an email with a link to the summer camp movie.  Let him know if you did not receive the email.  Might be the wrong email address for you in the database.  Enjoy the movie.

Summer Camp - Final day

Summer Camp - Final day

Well....what would be summer camp without rain..

Around 5:00am, it started to rain here at Camp K. Mr. Everson woke the scouts up and had them get back in to the tents.

The troop did very well with their skit last night. It will take a while to upload videos to facebook, so that will come later in the day.

Awards were handed out and the troop was recognized for winn...ing the compass competition and Magic tourney.

Games were played in the Sportsfield after the campfire until 10:00pm when the scouts decided to head back to camp and get their cots out of their tents for sleeping around the campfire.

Candidates for Order of the Arrow slept outside last night as well. Hope they stayed dry.

Opening ceremony is at 0800 followed with breakfast and then return to the parade field for closing. Then back to the campsite to pack up and get everything into the trailer for the drive home.

If we are going to be much earlier than noon for a pickup, we'll start calling as we are leaving the campsite.

Overall, a good week at summer camp.

Don't forget Court of Honor on Monday at 7:00pm to recognized all the efforts the scouts put into earning their badges at camp. If you can bring a snack for refreshments after the ceremony, that would be terrific.

See you back at the church around noon.

Summer Camp - Scuba is AWESOME!


 Once again - Troop 538 had the most participation at this event. And a good time was had by all.

The company that provided the service can work with the troop to do individual programs. Something to consided since everyone had a great time.
